 Mr. and Mrs. Gus. Taepke, W. B. 

 Brown, Eobert Jean, Ed. Beard,

Breitmeyer 's have just completed 

 three new houses at their Mack avenue 

 plant. The houses are built of material 

 supplied by Foley Mfg. Co. and are 20 

 X 80, using 16 x 16 glass. 



The outing of the Detroit Florists' 

 Club, held at Bois Blanc Island on Fri- 

 day, August 16, was well attended. The 

 big feature of the da^ was the ball 

 game between the retailers and whole- 

 salers. The latter, captained by Rob- 

 ert Bahaley, won, after a hard strug- 

 gle. A liberal list of prizes was com- 

 peted for by the members in various 

 g^mes. H. S. 



PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The only improvement in local con- 

 ditions that was noticeable during the 

 last week has been in the quality of the 

 stock that has been brought into the 

 market. The long continued drought 

 had a disastrous effect upon the stock, 

 but the good, soaking rain of Sunday, 

 'August 11, made a vast difference in 

 its appearance. 



Asters are now coming to hand in 

 larger quantities than the market is 

 consuming, in consequence of which the 

 prices are low. Carnations are almost 

 entirely off the boards, but roses are in 

 good quantity and quality, some of the 

 growers cutting exceptionally good 

 blooms for the summer season. 



Various Nctes. 



At the auction sale of the extensive 

 land holdings of Mrs. Alva E. Belmont, 

 at Newport, a few days ago, John B. 

 Urquhardt, gardener for R. Livingston 

 Beeckman, purchased 43,955 square feet 

 of land for $1,098.88; James Judd, gar-
